Omri Michaeli

Omri z"l served as a fighter in the Duvdevan Unit and fell in the battles in Kfar Gaza. Hili Trooper paid tribute to him: Omri Michaeli is a hero of Israel. The whole country got to know Amri for the first time when he was injured in the "Tzuk Eitan" operation, where while he was rescued from the area, he waved the Israeli flag! Last night he was killed while rescuing hostages in the Gaza Strip. After the "Tzuk Eitan" operation, Amri received the Chief of Staff's citation of excellence for the fact that when a grenade was thrown at his friend, he jumped on top of the friend and protected him with his body. When he was wounded, Amri continued to fight. Amri recovered from the serious injury, and continued to report to the reserves in the Duvdevan unit. During the "Bayit v'Gan" operation in Jenin a few months ago, he was injured again. and returned to serve. Again. Last night he jumped with his friends to save civilian lives and was killed, along with other officers and fighters from Duvdevan The failures of the leadership will still be examined, but it is already clear that IDF soldiers and commanders in the field fought with tremendous bravery. Some paid with their lives. May the memory of Omri and all the dead be blessed.
